Heathland, spruce mire, coniferous forest, lichenous pine forest. probably a few other. but it's quicker in heathland/lichenous pine forest because you can zoom in, scroll the mousewheel, glance around, zoom out.

if you haven't seen one before, they're the big round red things.

How long does it typically take to find one? I took a break since it was frustrating not being able to find one, but I'll try again for a few more hours

It varies. It took me a long time with one of my characters too but then sometimes I stumble on them by accident. They are fairly rare I guess. Here's what they look like:

I'm actually trying to find something else right now (robbers quest) so I'm entering and leaving a lot of squares. This was the 83rd square I entered and it happened to have an ant nest. I guess that gives you an idea of the rarity.

Thank you for the clarification. I mistakenly thought they were only uncommon, but it seems I need to put more effort into finding one of these nests.

Just found an ant nest in a lichenous pine forest. Took only 10 more minutes of searching. I was just unlucky in the first few hours
